I can build fine, and at least one other person has confirmed the patched gdb to be working correctly, though I think that that person was using my binary deb. Did the patch come through OK wrt. linefeeds, etc? There are some long lines there... I also see some URL-encoded characters (<, ") in the email as posted in the bug archive - your mailer decoded them, right? Otherwise, the patch is available (gzipped) on http://southpole.penguinpowered.com/, along with binaries. That site can be down if my computer is not on&in linux, but that's rare.
